Can anyone outweird my secret crush?!

I have developed an inexplicable crush on Uncle Fester.
I've had a few odd crushes over the years but this one is by far the oddest.
Does anyone else get weird crushes for absolutely no good reason?

Hartley Hare seems to come up on here with sinister regularity. It still gives me the fear and I'm fifty.

I actually think he was intentionally suggestive and maybe people subconsciously tapped into that.

Isn’t this the puppet that would say things like:” today we’re going to talk about …[drops to a purr] … being naughty.”

EVERYONE (everyone on MN anyway) fancies him!

Honestly, I'm so frightened of it I can't/won't remember anything it actually said.
Along similar lines, though, I think with hindsight I used to fancy Basil Brush (I was too young at the time to understand the concept or the language of that though). He was definitely a bit racy, and possibly a bit raunchy as well. He was certainly very witty. I think that's actually informed my taste in men; I have a soft spot for posh lads, even though most of my working-class self feels that I should deride them, and I love nothing more than a biting sense of humour.

Liono from Thundercats was my only non humanoid crush.

I definitely think he is more appealing now than before somehow.

He's got a bit of Barry Gibb going on . I'm a sucker for brown eyes and grey hair.
